Politics A Perfect Pair
We all know what a thick-headed jackass George W. Bush is, and by extension most of us probably assume his wife isn’t the brightest light in the … thing with lights … either. She has to be pretty delusional to be married to that guy.
Well here’s some recent proof:
U.S. First lady Laura Bush said on Sunday she does not believe opinion polls showing her husband’s approval ratings at record low levels.Interviewed on Fox News Sunday, Laura Bush said she did not think people were losing confidence in President George W. Bush, despite a series of polls showing support for him at its lowest point in his five-year presidency and among the lowest for any president in the past 50 years.
“I don’t really believe those polls. I travel around the country. I see people, I see their responses to my husband. I see their response to me,” she said.
“As I travel around the United States, I see a lot of appreciation for him. A lot of people come up to me and say, ‘Stay the course’.”
This woman is so amazingly dense that she thinks that the people who come to see her husband’s appearances are a representative sample of the population. It’s a random sampling of ordinary Americans, just happening by a $10,000-a-plate Republican fundraiser. She’s taken her own informal poll of people who love George Bush, and, why, they overwhelmingly love him! The polls in the papers are crazy!
Nearly every day I think my capacity to be stunned by Bush and his gang’s (and his family’s) unprecedented combination of evil and stupidity is at its limit, and nearly every day I’m yet more stunned. Maybe she’s not really this stupid—maybe she’s just saying what she’s told to say—but I prefer to think she’s an unbelievable dolt. It just fits.
Reality does have a liberal bias, after all.
